OUTLINE:  Destiny Stickers learned to:

2.    Laminate and refuse to contaminate (grab hold of their destiny while their destiny was grabbing hold of them)

3.    Stay rested in the promises when tested by the problems

4.    Be developed while they were enveloped (gifts, talents, skills, abilities, character, values, beliefs)

5.    Employ principles now so they could enjoy promotion later (fought through the pain, danced through the rain, worked through the strain)

6.    Refused to rebel while waiting to excel

7.    The drive for more was what motivated them to soar

8.    What they could not escape God would use to mold them into shape

 

TEXT:  Hebrews 11
